Strongest Meta Decks

[Carl]

What are the strongest meta decks atm? :)

[Жора]

Most decks that you'll see at rank 40 with Green and White. Not necessary Green + White, as by Green I mean any deck that utilize cards like Sylvan Advocate, Duskwatch Recruiter etc. and by White I mean any decks that use Avacyn, Declatarion in Stone etc.
+ Superfriends + Ulamog ramp (again green mostly here)

So, to wrap it all up, these are the cards that define current meta: Planeswalkers, Avacyn, White or White/Black (mass) removals, Ulamog, and green cards with good cost/effectiveness ratio: Sylvan Advocate, Duskwatch Recruiter, Tireless Tracker...
Include some of those in your deck and you'll get a highly competative deck no matter what its main theme or colors are.

White Weenie, GW soldiers, Superfiends, Izzet Prowess, Izzet Mill, BW<> value.
Stampy and ramp are still hanging around from last season too.

Izzets are good vs AI, but they lack power against control heavy decks. Kill first 2-3 of their prowess creatures and Prowess Deck will fall easy. I don't think Izzet Prowess nor Izzet Mill are top of the meta. Mill dies to enchantment removal pretty easy, so green/white colors easy counter mill. Kill their Sphinx's Tutelage and they're done.

Izzet pop up regularly at 35-40

Maybe you're right. I am just a player one of many. My impressions on the current meta may differ from yours. That's why I won't argue and I'll just wait to see more opinions.

I rank 40 with RB Madness Vampires and it seems that I'm not the only one because I saw other high ranked play it.
It feels pretty strong right now since most decks are to slow to do anything.
Its weakness is mass removal, of course :)

I noticed the power of RB mad vampires, that first strike when attacking with 3/4 attack creatures is insane.

But mass removal or "twin bolt" shreds the deck appart

White Weenie is OP till rank 30 or so, suffers alot from mass removal/removal
Same thing with Izzet Prowess, maybe more, single target removals shreds the deck appart

Superfriends is cleary top of the meta right now, PW are a ♥♥♥♥ to get rid of and if u dont u most likely lose.
Stampy is good and ramp also, ppl seem to have forgoten how crazy R/G ramp can be but they suffer alot in matchups against agroo decks that take to the sky like white weenie and izzet prowess.

BW i assume its the alies lifegain deck, very strong with solid removal, still vulnerable to mass removal

Dont think i have seen the GW soldiers but i can assume uses Sylvan advocate, tireless trackers, etc...

Not too much white weenie anymore. If you wipe the board early, white weenie falls apart very quickly.

I got to rank 40 with an Izzet burn deck.

Rank 40 with grixis madness, more midrangey than vampires, can eat quite a few sweepers and win pretty easily still. Tuned hard to fight planeswalkers. Wouldn't call it a meta deck though, although I know a few people with similar-ish builds.

GW soldiers is akin to WW but it splashes for ulvenwald mysteries and runs it's own sweepers if you go wide against it. (in particular tragic arrogance)

BW<> value is the <> creatures backed up by B+W's utility spells and filling in the gaps in the mana curve.

Wow, my thoughts exactly. I would add that these are long game decks. They have a good chance of stabilizing against an aggressive deck, however they really kick in when you have 5+ mana.

Tireless Tracker would not be as good if priority worked properly.

Another deck that can win more than half its games above 35 is mill. I don't see much mill, but a lot of the top tier decks are not tuned up against it.

I played a funky green white black control deck with some reanimation to rank 40. It was fun.
